For one thing, solo travel allows you to do what you want, when you want – there’s no need to double check with a friend, or argue over where to go next. Your itinerary is completely your own! There is ultimate freedom in moving at your own pace. Not to mention the amount of people you’re bound to meet along the way, including many other solo travellers of all ages, sexes and backgrounds.

Learn about yourself, overcome challenges, grow as a person, set your own budget, learn to listen to your gut.. and on an on it goes.

Travelling solo is a wonderful way to move toward self-responsbility, using wordly experiences to redefine the way you live life. Seriously, do not let anyone tell you that it’s weird to travel alone!

Besides, solo travel has become so much easier these days thanks to awesome hostels around the world. The 5 star hostels certainly know how to accommodate solo adventurers.
